Hi,
Let’s say I wanted to add something to Rails that I would like all
applications to use. For example, I would like to add the pluggable
parameter parsing using:
ActionController::Base.param_parsers[‘application/atom+xml’] =
Proc.new do |data|
node = REXML::Document.new data
{ node.root.name => node.root }
end
(got this example from e.g. Rails Writ Large | Linux Journal,
but it’s also in the source code). I would not like this to be related
to a specific controller or application - I would like to add it for
all applications at once. In this case, it would be for both already
existing applications and the ones I create. What is the appropriate
place for this (if any)? I know that editing environment.rb is a good
place for per-application settings.
Yes, another (relatively simple) way would be to just ‘require’ the
Ruby file with these settings in all applicaitons, but I am just
curious if there is some standard way of doing this.
